of property, especially in timber, is unpre

Much of tbe loss, uo doubt, was occasioned
by persons iutenlionally setting fire to clear

I he ladies ot Somerset will please to un
derstand that they will be called upon to
lend their most valuable aid and assistance
to reuaer this affair completely successful.
It is not necessary in this connection, to
pay the said ladies any cotcplimeuts for
their reimtation. tor patriotism, for wit.
beauty and accomplishments is beyond my
ken to relate. Suffice it to sav that we feel
confident that they will not tail us on this
occasion ; and since they will not tail to
assist, the reunion can not be other than
magnificent and brilliant success. We
ave letters snd reports trom all parts ot
the county and from different sections of
lue Mate, convincing us that tnis proposed
reunion will call together tbe largest con
course of people that has ever congregated
in this delightfully cool and pleasant moun

very properly, we think, that (.lie County

should liberally assist in tbe erection ol a
building such as our fire company needs.
The proertv of the county tbe Court

that tbe county should contribute toward
making our fire deartnicnt as efficient us
possible. A neat, Ijittle buiiJicg placed on
the Court-house square, m'dway between

On Friday evening. May 10th, the Diag
nothian L!lerarysocicty oi Franklin and
Marshall College assembled at Fulton Hall
in this city, for tbe purpose ot celebrating
their 44th anniversary. Tbe hall was
densely crowded with the friends ot tbe
society, college, and persons interested in
literary work. Promptly at eight o'clock
the orators of the evening, preceded by
the college taculty, entered the hall,
marched in double file down tbe main
aisle and look seats arranged in a semi
circle around the rear of the stage. The
venerable ex-President lllev. Dr. Kevin
also oocupimi a seat upoo the stage. Al
ter prayer by tbe Rev. J. B. Shumaker,
pastor of the second Reformed church of
this city, the programme consisting of a
prologue, a eulogy, and five orations was
carried out. All the exercises were very
good, and they were appreciated very
much as was proven by the many flowers
ihat the speakers received. We would
like very much to lay before your readers
some of tbe productions, but time and
space will not periniL However we can
not help but write a few words ot con
gratulation for the eulogist, Mr. Fred. W.
Biesecker, of Jenner X Roads, Somerset
County, Pa., He bad for the subject of
his eulogy "Louis Kossuth" the Hunga
rian patriot, Mr. Biesecker is an accom
plished orator, and the manner in which
be bandied bis subject reflected great
credit upon himself, and was an honor to
his society. Tbe speaker in the course ot
his remarks was several tiniss interrupted
by applause, and at the close ot his well
delivered production his lady friends kind
ly remembered him w ith a large number
lit very handsome bouquets. If Mr. Bie
secker continues in his present course we
predict tor him a brilliant future. After
tbe exercises were over tbe benediction
was pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Thomas
G. Apple, President of the college, and to
tbe inspiring strains of a march, tr,e I,rge
and well pleased sucHettCie was' dismissed

to be proud.

Pexsio.v Arrearages. The CcxftiaW-

circular latter, ft. copy of which will be
mailed to each applicant for arrears as soon
as a supply can be printed :
Detartmext or the Interior, "i
Peksiok Office.
Washjsgtok, May 17, 1879. J
Sim Your application for arrears of
pensions has been received at this office.
Owing to the limited amount of money
available each month for payment ot ar
rears due those whose pensions were allow
ed prior to January 25, 1B79, a compara
tively small number ot cases only can be
adjusted monthly, and tberelore some de
lay may occur in the settlement of yosr
claim.
: Tbe right to tbe arrears is fixed by the
set of January 25th, and not by the date Df
tiling ine application, tberelore tbe claim
will be settled without regard to date ot
receipt in this office, but in such order as
to distribute the payments, equitably among
tbe several pension agencies as near as
may be.
' 0 further information will be furnished
you in relation to your claim tor arrears
until it has been settled, when you will be
notified and promptly ptid the amount
found to be due.
As Astomshiso Fact. A atrge pro
portion of tbe American people are to day
dying from tbe effects of Dyspepiia or dis
ordered liver. The result of these dis
eases upon the masses of intelligent and
valuable people is most alarming, making
life actually a burden instead oft pleasant
existence of enjovment and usefulness as
it ought to be. There is bo good reason
for this, if you will only throw sside pre
judice and skepticism, take the advice of
Druggists and your tnends, ano try one
bottle of Green s August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions oi bot
tles of this medicine have been given
away to try its virtues, with satisfactory
results in every case. You can buy a
samp.e bottle lor 10 cents to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Posi
tively sold by all Druggists on the West
ern Continent
